Contribute Your Interpretation of Cage's Music

John Cage believed that anybody can feel and play music. His guidelines for creating it allow for infinite possibilities. What instruments do you use to play Cage? Do you pluck a cactus? Slam the lid of a piano? Crumple a piece of paper? We invite you to share a video of yourself playing excerpts from Cage’s music — and, within your video, we encourage you to explain how you chose to interpret Cage as well as any lessons you learned from the process.

October, 2016 - The John Cage Living Archive will continue to be hosted at this address, but we are no longer accepting new submissions. Thank you for your interest, and please enjoy the archive.
